Abstract:
An actinomycete strain, AM105(T), that produces rifamycin, was isolated from mangrove sediment samples collected from the South China Sea. The strain showed closest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Micromonospora matsumotoense (98.0%). Chemotaxonomic characteristics of the isolate coincided with members of the genus Micromonospora. The value of DNA-DNA relatedness to M. matsumotoense (53.6%) and phenotypic differences from phylogenetically related Micromonospora species indicated that this isolate belongs to a novel species, for which the name Micromonospora rifamycinica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AM105(T) (=CGMCC 4.2495(T)=DSM 44983(T)).
